What we do
From sketch to shipment, in four steps.
01 / Development
Technical translation from sketch to sample.
Material sourcing, last selection and prototype refinement, in close conversation with the factory technicians.
02 / Production
The right factory for each project.
We match every project to the right partner in Felgueiras or S. João da Madeira — from small batches to full seasons.
03 / Quality control
Rigorous oversight at every stitch.
Our team inspects materials on arrival and follows production on the floor, holding every pair to your standard.
04 / Delivery
Dates that are kept.
Final inspection, packing and shipping coordinated with your retail calendar — without late surprises.
Why Selco
We know which factory your shoe belongs in.
Selco has long-standing relationships with factories in Felgueiras and S. João da Madeira, Portugal’s two main footwear regions, and is respected in the trade as a reliable partner. That means easy access, clear communication throughout and fair, competitive pricing.
After a short conversation and a look at your design, we know which factory is best suited to develop it.
Sustainability
Responsibility is not an option. It is the standard.
We keep up with the latest sustainable materials and push our partner factories to do the same — with regular independent audits such as SMETA and BSCI.
